I’m sorry Dave that you lost your friends in the crash. Their work in UNK was so appreciated by the people there.

A Bering Air Cessna caravan is landing on a gravel runway in Wales, Alaska on an overcast summer day.

This was the hardest week serving as a pastor in Nome, Alaska. My heart is still broken and I and still processing the loss of flight 455.

The president's press secretary at her rostrum. "White House"and "Washington" are on the wall behind her, but the angle of the photograph obscures everything but "White Washing."

Glimpsed from a certain angle, an inadvertent truth appears.

The ELCA is welcoming to LGBTQ+ and refugees/immigrants so we’re considered fake Christians to those who are on the far right.

A large black mouth cur dog is precariously perched on the back of a yellow recliner.

Yaz has found his new favorite seat… maybe he thinks he’s part cat. #dogsofbluesky #blueskydog

Two black mouth cur dogs relaxing in front of a yellow couch. One on a yellow ottoman and the other in a chair with a Van Gogh’s Starry Night cover. Slippers are on the floor nearby and an iPad waits on the arm of the couch

No where else I’d rather be….

A closeup photo of me with my sister and brother.

It’s days like today when I miss my brother the most. We should be celebrating his 50th birthday… cancer sucks!

I’ve heard stories from my grandma and others from that time how scary it was and how much relief they all felt when there was finally a vaccine. When my grandma passed I found vaccine books she kept from when her kids got their polio vaccines.

My dad had polio when he was 18 months and wore his leg brace his entire life. About 20 years old, he developed post polio syndrome and ended up in a wheelchair because his legs were so weak.

I remember my dad talking about you all the time when I was a kid. He was so proud of the writer you are!

I was a teacher for over a decade and often had to spend a lot of my own money to make sure students had what they needed to learn each day. This teacher is asking for help with some classroom items - let’s help her out!

I’m afraid to be optimistic about anything in 2024, but this makes me happy for next season. #sfgiants
